FARM AID

food is important. music is fun. festivals are cool. SO ALL YOU STONEHILL KIDS SHOULD TOTALLY GO TO FARM AID!!!! i went last year and had a blast. like seriously, who doesnt like a 12 hour outdoor music festival? i took a lovely little nap probably during the counting crows or guster. plus everyone there really cares about food and the environment. i had a lovely slice of vegan flatbread....who can resist that?!?!? now go, because its in masfield which is so close!!!!

if you can get your booty over the the east side, say hi to chris kennedy and all the other darlings at S1. and say hi to the homeless people for me, they are always entertaining!

So, I've been researching projects for the solar 1 education wiki and i came across PARK[ing] DAY. Its worth checking out if you're gonna be in LA Sept 19th, and you're interested in reclamation, public events, and sustainability.
